He also says its technically a 4th term. Still claiming 2020 was his win.

Hence he is already claiming the 22nd ammendment has been invalidated.

My guess he plans to claim any election that removes him is invalid.

Typical dictator move

Just from a practical standpoint, I'd put even odds on him surviving this term. The guy thinks health is based on golf and hamburgers and is my parents' age, with one of them having been in assisted living for nearly a decade.

This is more a sign of dementia (in case his rambling campaign speeches didn't clue you in) than a practical plan to retain power. He just wants to stay out of jail before he dies, which he'll likely do.

But he's no Castro. He doesn't have 40 years ahead of him, and the revolution isn't going well.

Yeah. I agree with your take on this.

He saw Civil War and thought it looked cool.

He’s been doing that since he started his first term.
